WILL FIGHT WEED PESTS Horticultural Commissioner Going After Johnson Grass and Other Noxious Weeds County Horticultural Commissioner Bishop is leading a war on weeds. His particular enemies are Johnson grass, morning glory, Russian thistle and fennel. The board of supervisors on Tuesday gave him authority to notify all property owners to clean them out. The supervisors or dered that notice be given road bosses to turn attention to the noxious weeds, and to follow the directions of the horticultural commissioner. Bishop addressed the following to the board of supervisors: "We have in this county four weeds that are decidedly noxious and serious pests, namely, Johnson grass, Russian thistle, morning glory and fennel." "Of the plants named it is difficult to say which is the most serious. While Johnson grass and morning glory do not do well in dry lands, the Russian thistle grows and produces its seeds with the moisture from winter rains. "While Johnson grass and morning glory are in irrigated fields they are extremely troublesome. "The fennel is the least troublesome of the list and may be destroy. With Johnson grass and morning glory this is impractical, due to the spreading nature of the underground stems. The best method is, where a considerable area is infested, to get the soil in such condition that a weed knife may be run then run it." BIDDING FOR ALMONDS How Up-County Growers Will Dispose of Their Crop Stockton, June 20.—The highest bidder will purchase the entire almond crop of the California Almond growers exchange, recently organized by the efforts of the San Joaquin county growers. The officers have prepared the specifications under which the bidding will take place and they believe by pooling their output they will secure better prices than heretofore. It is estimated there will be about 1250 tons of almonds handled by the exchange and probably 800 tons not in the combine. The bids will be opened July 1 in Sacramento, and the successful bidder must give a bond of $20,000 immediately after his offer is accepted. He will then notify the secretary when he is ready to accept carload lots and growers will be instructed as to the exact dates their crops will be received for shipment. All disputes as to quality will be settled by arbitration; the cost of which will be borne by both parties. The places covered by the exchange are as follows: Yolo county, Davis and Capay; Sutter Co., Sutter, Live Oak and Pennington; Sacramento county, Antelope, Fair Oaks and Orangevale; San Joaquin county, Eastern Contra Costa county. STORK VISITS TRAIN Rough Riders Take Up Collection for Infant Cincinnati, Ohio, June 15.—The forty members of the Rough Riders, who came to Cincinnati today from While Johnson grass and morning glory are in irrigated fields they are extremely troublesome. The fennel is the least troublesome of the list and may be destroyWith Johnson grass and morning glory this is impractical, due to the spreading nature of the underground stems. The best method is, where a considerable area is infested, to get the soil in such condition that a weed knife may be run, then run it as often as once a week. This in the case of the morning glory, may be necessary for more than one season. Where the infestation is only small patches they may be covered with building paper and the edges sealed with dirt. I find these plants distributed throughout the county as follows: Johnson grass exists throughout the county, but it is especially bad at Yorba, west of Anaheim, and Capistrano. The Anaheim and Capistrano infestations are due to the sowing of the seed some years ago to furnish stock feed. The morning glory is found chiefly to the north and northwest of Santa Ana, mostly inside the city limits, and east of Tustin. The Russian thistle is found east, south and west of Anaheim, following the sandy soil to Garden Grove and to the Bolsa. While the fennel is distributed over the county to a limited extent, the greatest quantity is found along the irrigated foothill section running from Villa Park to Tustin. In talking with the people I find many willing to keep their roadsides free from noxious weeds, but according to section 2645 of the Political Code of 1909, it is required that the supervisors shall clean the roads of noxious weeds at least once a year. This is not sufficient in this county where we have two such plants as Johnson grass and morning glory, that immediately sprout up again on being cut. In case of these plants, however, they can be held in check along the roads by being cut back so that no seed shall ripen." TALKING GOOD ROADS Supervisors and Highway Commission Meet and Discuss Plans The board of supervisors held on Tuesday a conference with the highway commission and highway engineer Halladay in regard to proposed STORK VISITS TRAIN Rough Riders Take Up Collection for Infant Cincinnati, Ohio, June 15.—The forty members of the Rough Riders, who came to Cincinnati today from St. Louis and the west, have taken another little child under their wing. It is Theodora Herbster, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Herbster, of 817 Freeman avenue, St. Louis, who was born just as the train pulled into Cincinnati. The father of the child asked for medical attention, which was furnished by Dr. Sophie Kern of St. Louis. Immediately the crowd of Rough Riders took up a collection of $40 for the little girl, asked her to be named Theodora for the famous colonel, which was sanctioned by the father, and then sent their blessings to the mother. Mrs. Herbster was taken from the train to Bethesda hospital, where she was reported late tonight as progressing rapidly. Mr. and Mrs. Herbster are on their way from St. Louis to Pittsburg. Gregorio Gusman, smuggler of Chinese, was arrested at Peralta Saturday night by Santa Ana offisers. He will be tried in the federal court on a charge of violating federal immigration laws. Gusman was a member of the Gregorio Espinoza gang of smugglers of Chinese, whose leader, Espinoza, was killed near El Toro by Ralph Conklin, a Chinese inspector, several weeks ago. Shortly after Espinoza was shot Chinese Inspector Conklin and William Chadney surprised two Mexicans with a band of contraband Chinese. The officers were in wait near San Onofre, south of the Orange county line. When Conklin and Chadney ordered the band to halt, Gusman was close to Chadney. Gusman drew a revolver and the two men began shooting at each other. Gusman's revolver was so close to Chadney's face that the officer's face was powder marked. Gusman turned and ran. He and two of the Chinese managed to escape. TUSTIN Apricot drying camps will start operations this week. A few of the about making investment a proposition such as the Investment Company with upon land values in their asks for support, the public realize the difference between timate investment proposals speculation. When asked the names of the new stock J. Olmstead, president of ny replied that at present at liberty to give out the later date the full list available. It includes, how of the strongest financial county and insures for the best possible standing towns of the county. Alres Ana, Mr. Olmstead says had applications for the several homes and other fact becomes more all parent that there will be all the capital that can be carrying on of the same thing is true of all towns of the county; every $100,000 that the company in a short time the demise exceed their ability to make prominent official of one Angeles co-operative bullies, after a recent inspection Orange county field gave opinion that there did not better field for the succession of such a company as Investment Company of as that company is the onlyive building company in its continued success is fact. As the scope of future work are more fully we understand that the of the county are making plans to secure the head fices. TALKING GOOD ROADS Supervisors and Highway Commission Meet and Discuss Plans The board of supervisors held on Tuesday a conference with the highway commission and highway engineer Halladay in regard to proposed routes for the good roads system. The supervisors adopted an ordinance against the carrying of concealed weapons. The law will be in effect in fifteen days. The supervisor of the second district was granted permission to expend in excess of $300 in oiling roads. The petition of A. D. Cleaver for a road in the Westminster district was continued to July 6th. The report of the viewers for the J. M. Jameson road in the Newport district was accepted, and the petition granted. The supervisors agreed to send the county horticultural commissioner to the state convention of commissioners to be held in Sacramento. HOW TO GROW WATERCRESS Those fond of watercress may have a summer's supply by sinking an old tub or bottom of a hogshead to a depth of ten inches near a pump or well or where the water can be frequently renewed from hose. Half fill receptacle with good soil, plant the rooted watercress and fill with water. A border of umbrella plants or other aquatic plants will make it a thing of beauty as well as of utility. A further improvement may be made by planting iris around outside of the tub, the overflow of water giving the necessary moisture to the flowers. Papa, Mr. Blitherington says he will kill himself unless you let him have me. Does he say that as a threat or a promise? TUSTIN Apricot drying camps will start operations this week. A few of the growers cut some fruit last week. The 'cots are of good size, but the crop is short, which condition is reported to prevail throughout the state. Local growers are nearly all in the Orange county dried fruit association, formed a few weeks ago, the purpose of which is to hold for higher prices than would be the case were there no organization. Some of the growers want 12 cents per pound for the dried 'cots. An average of about 8 cts was received last year, the price varying widely during the season. The local social event of the season was held at the country home of Miss Stella Preble. It was a garden fete, the proceeds going toward the building fund of the Ebell society of the Santa Ana valley. Several hundred people from Santa Ana, Orange, El Modena and Tustin enjoying the festivities. GARDEN GROVE A. C. Miller reports the loss of 50 feet of new eight-inch belting. It was stolen from his place west of town during his absence at Pasadena over Sunday. He has recently finished a new well, for which a pumping plant, and engine were installed, and everything was ready to begin operations. When he returned here Tuesday the new belt was missing, and so far no trace of it has been discovered. Its value is about $25. His idea is that some transient junkman passing the place noted the opportunity and took advantage of it. EXPANDING ENTERPRISE Success Attends Efforts of Home Investment Company—Stock Subscriptions Being Rapidly Completed Four weeks ago the Home Investment Company declared its first annual dividend and announced that for the coming year the company would be reorganized on broad enough lines to cover the entire county with its building operations. A stock subscription for the reorganized company was announced at the same time and this paper is advised that the response from all over the county has been very satisfactory. From Fulberton on the north to Santa Ana on the south, all the towns are represented by many large and small subscriptions. In view of the fact that the people of Orange county have in the past few years been badly hurt by outliving their money into worthless propositions, such as wireless telegraph, wireless telephone, mining prospects, oil prospects, oscillating-pumps automatic signal devices, etc., they have grown timid to a certain degree about making investments, but when a proposition such as the Home Investment Company with assets based upon land values in their own county, asks for support, the public seems to realize the difference between a legitimate investment proposition and a speculation. When asked concerning the names of the new stockholders E. F. Olmstead, president of the company, replied that at present he was not at liberty to give out the list, but at later date the full list would be SANTA ANA F. F. Skelly who is in the county jail awaiting trial on July 18 on a charge of wife-murder, put in no legal appearance in the suit of the San Pedro Lumber Co. against him for $1025. Skelly's default in the case was entered some days ago. The action was begun the day Skelly was arrested, and was for lumber sold to him by the plaintiff. Following Skelly's arrest two other suits were begun against him, one by the First National bank of Santa Ana and one by the Westminster-Odd Fellows lodge. In each case Skelly's lumber yard at Westminster was attached. However the criminal case against Skelly comes out, whether he is proven guilty or not guilty, he will be a ruined man, financially. A. B. Haven was taken north the first of the week by Sheriff A. S. Dingley of Stanislaus county. Haven is charged in that county with the embezzlement of partnership property. He was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Wilson on the San Joaquin fruit company ranch east of Tustin, and was placed in the county jail, where he was held for the northern officer. The accusation against Haven, who had been employed on the San Joaquin fruit company ranch for several weeks, is that he converted to his use property that was bought in a partnership arrangement. His partner complained to the Stanislaus officers that Haven sold implements bought by him for farming a piece of land. An order of the superior court of Orange county denying a new trial in SAY, YOU, SMITH LOOK HERE See What Pap Cahill is Saying About You—Did You See It? So we find Representative Smith—not our Smith—declares Pap Cahill in the Call—introducing a bill in congress to forbid the transmission of prize fight news under the interstate commerce clause of the constitution. Of this legislative excursion the New York World remarks: "If as a regulator of commerce congress can guide the tastes of the people in the matter of newspaper reading, protecting, for example, the innocent populace of New York from the contaminating influence of San Francisco, it will soon have on its hands a continental task in regeneration. It can not stop with a news censorship. People eat things, drink things, wear things and do things that are execrable. The commerce clause duly exerted by congress will localize one of them." A statesman of Mr. Smith's austerity and correct ideas should have no difficulty in that case in making our state lines look like the Chinese wall at the time the Boxers addressed themselves to the foreign devils. At home in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Iowa, Indiana, or Kentucky a man might wear a red necktie, eat onions for breakfast, or smoke a rope, carry a flask in his hip pocket or pick his teeth with a jackknife and be a model citizen, but when he came to the boundary Mr. Smith's interstate morals and etiquette act would apply and the heavy about making investments, but when a proposition such as the Home Investment Company with assets based upon land values in their own county,asks for support, the public seems to realize the difference between a legitimate investment proposition and a speculation. When asked concerning the names of the new stockholders E. M. Olmstead, president of the company, replied that at present he was not at liberty to give out the list, but at later date the full list would be available. It includes, however, some of the strongest financial men in the county and insures for the company the best possible standing in all the towns of the county. Already in Santa Ana, Mr. Olmstead says, they have had applications for the building of several homes and other buildings and the fact becomes more and more apparent that there will be demand for all the capital that can be raised for the carrying on of the work. The same thing is true of all the other towns of the county; even with the 100,000 that the company will have in a short time the demand will far exceed their ability to meet it. A prominent official of one of the Los Angeles co-operative building companies, after a recent inspection of the Orange county field, gave it as his opinion that there did not exist a better field for the successful operation of such a company as the Home Investment Company of Anaheim,and that company is the only co-operative building company in the county which continued success is an assured fact. As the scope of the plans for future work are more fully recognized we understand that the other towns of the county are making strenuous plans to secure the headquarters offices. An order of the superior court of Orange county denying a new trial in the case in which C. A. Routh, rancher, obtained judgment for $12,155.21 against the Southwest Warehouse Company, because of alleged misrepresentations in the sale of a quantity of barley, has been reversed by the state supreme court and the suit must be retried. Routh's crop failed and he blamed the party from whom the barley was bought, alleging that it was not bearded barley, as he declared the defendants represented it to be when he purchased it. Other ranchers in Orange county, who bought some of the grain and claimed to have had a similar experience, assigned their claims to Routh. The action affects several growers in the county. Ignorance of the presence of a jog in the street caused the wreck of an automobile at 10 o'clock Monday evening at Santa Ana. The occupants were pitched out and landed in a stubble field. The machine, a Mitchell, is owned and was driven by Geo S. Harper, fruit-packer and shipper of Orange. He was going north on Van Ness avenue at a fair clip. At Hickey street there is a jog forty feet to the west. Without the slightest decrease in speed Harper's machine plunged into the curb. The left wheel lifted, the right wheel was demolished and the front axle broken. The rear wheel stopped at the curb. The driver and a young lady who was with him were thrown out. The ground being soft, neither was badly hurt. Sherman Stevens and C. E. Utt of Tustin have entered into an agreement to sell a tract of land northeast of Tustin to Carrie E. Marcy of Chicago for $37,500. The men are to provide water for the tract and set it to navels, Valencias and lemons. Answers and cross complaint were filed in the suit of Victor Montgomery for $1345 attorney's fees against Hoggatt Clopton of Huntington Beach and his children, Pearle and Hugh. Hoggatt Clopton alleges that he has paid Montgomery $300, which amount he says is sufficient. Miss Clopton make our state lines look like Chinese wall at the time the Boxers addressed themselves to the foreign devils. At home in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Iowa, Indiana, or Kentucky a man might wear a red necktie, eat onions for breakfast, or smoke a rope, carry a flask in his hip pocket or pick his teeth with a jackknife and be a model citizen, but when he came to the boundary Mr. Smith's interstate morals and etiquette act would apply and the heavy hand of government would fall upon him. Our Mr. Smith is different and professes himself a first class fighting man with a chip on each shoulder. He does not even ask Billy Jordan to issue his challenges. In a recent declaration of war made on the floor of congress he announced that if he wished to run for office he would open his campaign by slapping the face of every editor in the district. From the general editorial tone in the eighth district I supposed he had promised to make them all postmasters. Is this a fight or a fake? On Monday, June 13, Wm.

The funeral of Mrs. Lucy Devonshire of Fullerton, who cut her throat with a razor, took place on Sunday afternoon from the ranch and interment was in Anaheim cemetery. She was 69 years of age and had been a paralytic for years. Her grandson, Arthur R. McDonald, broke in the door of her room and found her lying in a pool of blood. She died in the hospital last Friday. Mrs. Devonshire left an estate valued at $25,000. SAVE Every dollar you can possibly get, is the first rule of every successful man.
